Hmm to my guess then the 3 lane PCB blew the card then bc I did smell something after the boot but no smoke. It's strange the card even turned on with it's blue led like

As a boot device, maybe. But is a system hardware device, Windows will see it and ask for drivers if it doesn't have them already.

I refer only to boot devices cause the OP wanted to boot from a PCIe card.

Ah, ok.

That's true yes. I see that if only my MB would connect with the 3 lane PCB "that it has a small USB Type pci-e PCB for the connection and the PCB of the 3 lane has either a molex or a Sata power plug but can only choose one or I could be wrong... LINK

We may have just shorted the board bc I think we should of used card board to not let touch the case so

Despite the power connectors on board I wouldn't trust a board like that to be able to power anything that doesn't have its own power connector. Signal integrity over that USB 3.0 cable might also not be the best.

Yeah that 3-Lane PCB was meant for just mining so yeah my fault but got to try something right? I'm using the onboard Graphics G45 Intel yes I know I know it's poor but I just browse now so. I have a laptop based Wi-Fi PCB connected through a msata PCB pci-e. Works great plus has BT 4.2

Next my friend is bringing back the 4x M.2 PCB for the 16x lane slot
